Hello everyone! So here is a new chapter! I'm not going to bore you with this author's note so I'll be real quick. First off, sorry for not updating this story as much. I'm kind of falling behind and trying to catch up with other stories one is The Violet Enchantress. I've been focusing on one story at a time and this is one of the stories. Second, I'm watching the movie as well so I can get the lines right and add some of my scenes with my OC so that it makes sense.
And yes, there will be a bit of a crossover with the Avengers, but that's not coming in this story. The next installment will be an Avengers crossover, but I don't know which story line I want to go with just yet. I'm still in the works with it. Also the mysterious person Seraphina mentioned, can you guys who it is. I'll give you a hint. It's not Nick Fury. So cross that off the list.
I do not own any of the Fast and Furious characters or Desmond from the Assassin's Creed series! I only own Seraphina Gamora Ortiz!
I hope you guys like this chapter!
Enjoy!
Chapter 6: The Plan
Seraphina Ortiz's POV
"The beauty of public offices?" Mia's voice snapped me out of my depressing thoughts as she slammed down the blueprints of the police station. "Public records." I glanced at Desmond and he just crossed his arms over his chest. My gaze went around everyone until my eyes landed on O'Connor. I still haven't been able to talk to anyone about my outburst. I haven't talked to O'Connor or Dom about it. I became afraid. Afraid of disappointment in Dom's eyes. He and Mia are the only family I have left. Expect for Desmond. I quietly sighed and paid attention to our little meeting.
"This is where he's keeping the money. The vault in the evidence room." O'Connor pointed to the little box on the blue print. Desmond and I shared a look as did everyone else. It was Tej who confidently spoke up.
"Um. Uh, yeah. Can I get everyone's attention, right here, for a second?" Tej asked and we all stared at him. "We're talking about breaking into a police station." I raised an eyebrow at our tech wizard. "Is anyone listening to those words?" He said. "Anybody? Popo? Five-O. One-time. Pigs. People we don't like." Tej explained and I snorted a laugh with a bitter smirk on my face.
"Desmond and I dealt with them all the time." I glanced at everyone and Desmond nodded in agreement. "Doesn't make much of a difference in this situation. Reyes knew what he was doing when he put his money in the police station. The police are practically in his pocket. He's smart, but there's always a weak point." I glanced at Dom and he nodded in agreement with me. Han was the second one to speak up.
"You know, police stations are designed to keep people in, not out." Han said.
"That's why it's a stealth mission. We'll be in and out before they even know we were there." I rolled my eyes at O'Connor and shook my head. Always thinking like a cop.
"Well, we'll need to get eyes in there. At least to find out the make and model of the vault." Dom explained.
"And knowing Reyes, he's probably got one of the highest security on that vault." I glanced at Desmond. My gaze then landed Roman who looked confused.
"So, the vault and then, so…" He rested his elbow on the table and leaned his fist against his mouth. "It's crazy." He mumbled and the waved his finger at the blue print. "Who's supposed to do all this?" Roman asked. Mia and O'Connor shared a look then shared it with Dom then shared it with me and Desmond. I lightly shrugged my shoulders saying, 'It's your call'. Then we all looked at Roman. Mia shared a tight lip smile while O'Connor has a mischievous glint in his eyes and I lightly chuckled with a smile on my face. Roman looked at everyone and his eyebrows furrowed together in confusion wondering why were all staring at him. Knowing Roman, he's a slow learner. "What do you mean?" He leaned back on the stool removing his hands from the table. "Why me?" He asked.
"Because you got the biggest mouth." O'Connor said and I laughed out loud.
"That's for damn sure." Tej commented while Roman shook his head at O'Connor.
"This should be interesting." I said with a smile as I shared a look with Dom, but then it vanished when I saw the look of disappointment. I softly cleared my throat and pushed myself away from the table. "I'm gonna try and get in touch with one of my contacts." I glanced at Desmond and he shook his head.
"You are not getting in contact with him, again are you?" I rolled my eyes at him and his overprotectiveness.
"We're going to need the information to pull this off." I told Desmond and looked at him straight in his eyes. "He's our best bet." Desmond turned his back to me and shook his head. He put his hands on his hips and glanced at me.
"I don't like this." He told me. "I don't trust him." I shrugged my shoulders and clapped my hands to my side.
"But Phil did." That shut Desmond up. He let out a loud sigh and gave me a look. I looked at Dom and I pressed my lips in a thin line. I tore my eyes away from him and looked at Desmond. I took a few steps towards him and whispered to him. "He's one of us." With that I walked away from everyone and headed towards the entrance. This is what I must do. I'm going to make up for my mistakes. I'm not going to disappoint Dom.
However, he and the rest of the team will find out about me and Des. Then I will have to break ties, but it will be the only way to protect them from the dangers of being hunted. The ring from my cellphone pulled me out of my thoughts and reached in my pocket to answer it. I looked at the caller ID and I answered it immediately. "Guess you already knew I was going to call." I told him.
"Where are you?"
"Rio."
"Why?"
"Family business." I told him. I heard him sigh on the other end.
"Des with you?" I snorted a laugh.
"He didn't want me to contact you."
"You should have listened to him."
"His overprotectiveness is overrated. Plus, you owe me."
"That last one didn't count." A smiled graced my lips and I shook my head.
"Can you meet me?" There was a pause.
"What is that you need?"
"Information." I heard him snort a laugh.
"You're gonna have to give me more than that." I sighed and ran my hand through my hair.
"It's complicated." I said.
"Give me a name."
"Reyes." Another pause from his side and I knew he was turning the wheels in his head.
"Is he part of the,"
"I don't know, but if he is then I need to know. He already destroyed a lot of innocent lives. If he's part of it then I need to take him out. If he was part of our destruction of the order,"
"I know. I remember that day." I held back the tears as I thought of how many of our brothers and sisters perished that night. It was never the same after that night. Desmond and I tried to save as many as we could, but we didn't save enough. Before I could say anything else, I heard Mia call my name. I sighed.
"I have to go."
"I'll call you if I have something." I nodded to myself.
"Got it." I walked over to Mia who was sitting by the computer screens. "Be careful." With that I hung up. I saw the security video of the parking garage of the police station and put my hands on my hips.
"Well, that was quick." I muttered out while Mia called in everyone.
"We got it!" Everyone came over to where Mia and I were and stared at the screens.
"Yeah, we're looking at four cameras." O'Connor said and Han commented.
"Yo, that's some high-end shit, too." He glanced at me. "Marker optics. Hundred-degree field-of-view. Ten seconds oscillation." Fuck, Reyes updated everything.
"Yeah, that's a narrow window, man." I silently cursed under my breath and ran my hand through my hair. This is getting more complicated by the second.
"Always one step ahead of us Reyes is." I muttered and Han nodded in agreement.
"Can't we just tap in and replace the image?" Giselle asked and Tej shook his head.
"Na, it's hooked into a digital sync. They would know we were in the system. The best we can do is peek." Tej explained and I shook my head.
"We all knew it wasn't going to be easy." I said and Roman nodded.
"We're going to need some real fast cars to get through this." Roman said and Han added in.
"Not just fast. You got a hard right and a hairpin. We're going to need something agile." I nodded in agreement. Fast cars are one thing, gut agile is going to be a lot harder to find. I glanced at Dom and he crossed his arms over his chest.
"You guys mock up a track. O'Connor." He glanced at the former cop and smirked. "Let's go get some cars." Dom said and O'Connor smiled and chuckled.
"Nice." I rolled my eyes and shook my head. Boys and their cars. Everyone separated to create a replica of part of the garage. I was heading over towards the other table where Tej has his laptop and started setting up an algorithm in case we were caught on camera. I felt someone come up behind me and I knew who it was.
"You know it would go a lot faster if you weren't breathing down my neck O'Connor." I said without looking away from the screen and my fingers rapidly typing.
"I know what I said was wrong. I didn't mean to bring up Letty. That's on me, but if we're going to work as a team then we need to forget about everything else and focus on the job at hand." I stopped typing and considered O'Connor's deal. I closed my eyes and pressed my lips in a thin line. I hate to admit it, but he's right. If we are going to pull this off then we need to forget about everything else. I can't keep holding a grudge against him. It's not fair, but he took away the only family I have left.
However, he didn't force Letty to be his informant. She volunteered. She wanted out and have the life she and Dom deserve. I can't blame him for that. I sighed and turned around to look at O'Connor. I clenched my fists at my side not knowing what I want to do. I opened my eyes and stared into his blue eyes. If he's truly sorry then I guess I can give him a second chance. I held my hand out and the corner of my lip slightly turned upwards. O'Connor then clasped his hand in mine and gave me a smile.
"Consider this a clean slate." I told him and he chuckled, but nodded in agreement. I glanced over his shoulder and saw Dom waiting for O'Connor. "Better get going. We're going to need those cars to pull this off." O'Connor nodded and headed towards Dom. "O'Connor!" He turned around when I shouted his name and crossed my arms over my chest. "Keep yourself out of trouble." I told him and he gave me a mocking salute meaning he'll try, but trouble always finds him. I watched them get into Dom's car and drive away. I let out a sigh and headed back towards Tej's laptop and continued to type out the rest of my algorithm. Hopefully, no one has caught on to what we're trying to pull off. Hopefully.
